The aspiring model from Stillwater, Minnesota tried to establish herself by auditioning for America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 2. She was rejected, but her determination led her to try out again. Her second attempt was successful, and she became one of the 14 finalists of America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 4.

Although her beauty is undeniable, the judges felt that she wasn’t progressing, and after six photo shoots and numerous challenges, she and Tiffany Richardson were asked to pack their bags immediately and head home. The news devastated Rebecca, as she clearly tried her best to deliver what the judges were looking for. Some may remember Rebecca because she passed out during judging, due to a health condition she’s had all her life.

Rebecca’s elimination did not impede the success of her modeling career. Initially, she was working under VNY Model Management, but decided to end her contract with the said modeling agency because she felt she wasn’t getting enough modeling jobs.

In February of 2008, Rebecca and her husband had their first child, a son named Evan.

Rebecca was once signed with 2 Management, a sub-agency of ID Model Management. Her jobs included modeling for Cosmopolitan Magazine and Tommy Hilfiger and doing fashion shows for Wal-Mart Clothing, Escada, Multi By Bree Spring and Renee Larc for Milan Spring/Summer.

Lmao, your so wrong it’s laughable. Naima is SO edgy and definitely catches the eye, the girl was so run of the will average plain Jane that I totally forgot that she was on the show! She’s lucky she fainted or everyone else wouldve as well.

Everyone goes on about Tyra’s yelling at Tiffany being unfair, but I think the real unfair element of that episode was that Rebecca was eliminated. I think that Tyra should have let her stay in the competition because she wanted to be there, when Tiffany didn’t.
